Had a recent fender bender and my insurance shot up.
We are required by law to have insurance but are basically punished for needing to use it
That's why you need to switch insurance every year.
What does that do?
The law not having a cap on what they can charge you is what makes it a scam
It's not law ! It's MARITIME ...which is only LAW OF THE SEAS ..wake up peps it's all a game ..everything an every law ...we were born into this world ..all of us ..no one owns the world's land ....wakey wakey
Was in accident, other driver cited & at fault, their insurance covered damage, but my insurance skyrocketed on next renewal!!! It wasn't my fault & my insurance didn't pay a dime!! I never even involved my insurance company. Was told their was a claim in national database that included my VIN, doesn't matter about details/fault or payout company. Like how is this fair, much less legal. Tried other companies for quotes, pretty much same response, VIN in system makes you high risk?? It's so wrong
All insurance is a scam, house insurance, car insurance.. They never want to pay out on claims either.
Exactly its like, you pay them all this money so that if something happens. They will come to the rescue and fix it all. But yet, when something happens, they do absolutely everything possible to try and not help you at all. Its a total disgrace, its like thinking a friend has your back, and in all actuality they were never your friend to begin with.
They also drag it out really long . Like years and years just to force you to take a fraction. The insurance can wait forever. You cannot
Yes more so lately they work together to screw the one that was hit! 😡
Health insurance too.
Lemonade Insurance is the only good one I know of
IF CAR INSURANCE IS OBLIGATORY AND THE GOVERNMENT FORCES YOU TO BUY IT, THEN IT SHOULD NOT BE A FOR-PROFIT BUSINESS.
It's proof the monetary system is evil
preach 🗣️🗣️
Exactly. An example of trading freedom for security. Liberty for safety. “A country that trades liberty for security deserves neither and will loose both” Franklin
Insurance is a government made monopoly. The government should never have been permitted to require insurance. Vote for our republic, vote for capitalism. Vote against required insurance. Vote libertarian. Gut Congress of both major parties.
If gov. Says you have to have it...then it.must be affordable...that's how it works in canada...they have limits on how much and when they can increase your insurance
So.etimes cheaper isn't always better...today they have policies were you canonly drive so.much a year..mine 5k kilometers a year..3k miles...I'm retired..drive a caddy. That works for me..when I was a young.man I was.charge an enormous rate despite my clean record.
Insurance companies are acting like a monopoly charging whatever they want. They need to be investigated!
It’s cuz the insurance system as a whole is monopolistic. If you don’t buy insurance and choose to drive, the gov will put you in jail!
Your state department of insurance approves any increase so there’s that
Insurance companies give politicians money, politicians pass laws that benefit insurance companies, and the insurance commissioner does what the politicians say, why would they investigate their own corrupt racket 🤷
@@Gripmagic I deleted my comment because you already typed it.
Also, good luck getting politicians to investigate their campaign funders.
The only reason we pay car insurance is for when we get pulled over by the police to give them our paperwork
Say that when you get into an accident in this hyper-litigious society. Good luck being in that spot without insurance.
Half don't. The system is broken. @@e.l.norton
@@e.l.nortonmost people are too poor for it to matter lol. They’ve got nothing to come after anymore. The middle class is gone.
I wish one company- just ONE company would give you a 25%-50% discount if you have no accidents & choose to renew. It would change the game!
They would still have to pay for your stolen car. That's why it is so expensive.
@@JamesCAsphalt8 Everybody knows not much is done when your car is stolen. I was specifically talking about being accident free for a full year.
Doesnt work with 100 million foreigners in the country.
@@JamesCAsphalt8no, majority of payout dollars is from lawsuits and personal injury
USAA was the cheapest I found. But, you need some military affiliation.
Their driving tracker got me about 25% cheaper after my first 6 months.
I now pay less than $40/month, and I'm 28 years old. I pay less in 6 months than most people do in a single month.
Geico wanted $6000 for 6 months I told them “and I want a toilet made of gold, good luck” and hung up. It’s out of control
You might as well put that into a savings account for any issues.
That was the goal... They didn't want your business so they gave you the "f off" price
Geico gave me a cheapish quote when I messed with the app to bring it down. Next thing you know, I get a letter saying utility bill only for proof of residence. Nothing else. I rent with all utilities paid so of course I don't have that. So they dropped me. Geico is the worst.
@@Tailionis use a phone bill that counts as utilities
@@ILoveTinfoilHats who has a land line? 😄 and cell phone won't work for them.
Correction Jack, "All insurance is a scam". As opposed to our healthcare system, which is a scam and a joke.
Why can't hospitals make their own prices and kick insurance to the curb? It's all about money anyway.
@@GabrielHill1 Under Obamacare, the fascist gov. got involved and started setting insurance and care prices. They have no business in medicine.
@@GabrielHill1 Because hospitals and insurance struck a deal together. Hospitals can jack up their prices to the roof, while insurance can "pay off" hospitals by charging excessive premiums to people. Win-win for these two.
Gotta pay for all the third worlders bro
Best answer
They ought to play this clip at the presidential debate. Guaranteed that neither candidate would be able to provide a clear cut answer or response to this.
The president has nothing to with car insurance. The president is a politician not a God.
@@malcolmn.5222 Why vote then? What have democracy give to people?
@@xlgabriel you need to vote for Representatives in the House and Senate to pass legislation on insurance. Not the President, although they would have veto power.
More than 30% Of drivers on the road don’t have insurance and they wonder why.
Depending on where you are it’s more like 50%, and you wonder why insurance is so expensive.
Theyre foreigners bro. 100 million invaders running rampant and we pay the costs
Where did you get that number from? You did your own study or something?
@@juanagudelo409 this was from reports done by insurance companies and the department of transportation. My mom’s cousin owns a lot of Allstate agencies in wa and he also confirmed this.

Did this after my first accident lol
Best be on your best behavior driving.. that car is now in their name to help you save massively .. if you get into an accident and really hurt someone that person is gonna be sued not you.. always remember that, do not turn their life into a nitemare … they are sticking their neck out on a chopping block for you…
And if you're not listed as a driver on that vehicle, they won't pay for anything if you wreck it.
i’m 23 with a new 2022 subaru wrx along with my 2005 honda accord I use to commute I live in california and they charge me 500 monthly flat with life insurance included is that a lot?
It's a scam yet we let it to continue. It's not for our protection it's a for-profit company. All insurance is a scam. 🤮🙄
The horrible thing is that its required by law 😒
Fr it’s like the icing on the cake. No matter what you did the law finds away to add more 💩 onto you
And we'll continue to let it happen, because we're strangers who love to exploit each other via social media and could never possibly fathom teaming up, forming communities independently, and telling those bastards to fuck right off. You go expressing something like that in person to anyone and you're just a looney.
Yes it's a for-profit company. How else would it work and who would pay for it?
this whole country is for profit.
I'm paying $50 a month for 2000 Honda with basic coverage. Not too bad, I guess. Once your insurance starts to increase, time to switch. They do not care about loyalty.
I hear the opposite, but it’s from people who’ve used Progressive or Geico for 10 years or more.
I have a 2004 Honda with just the minimum.never any tickets,accidents or claims.good credit score and from 85 it went up to 218. Made a few calls and got it a 122 monthly.

Exactly! Literally the sheepest ppl on the planet.
How do we fix this?? By voting?? I genuinely don’t know or don’t know where to start and I’m not trying to sound like a smart ass.
The problem with random hole in the wall “same coverage yet half the price” insurance companies is the chances of a pay out is drastically reduced.
That's the risk. It's cheap but when you actually need them to pay out for repairs, they will fight you tooth and nail to avoid paying for the repairs
Wouldn't that be illegal? If you sign a contract and pay for something like full replacement value if your vehicle is totalled, then they shouldn't be able to fight paying you
@@spyder6668 who's gonna run out of lawyer money first, the insurance company or the guy that can barely afford car insurance?
I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels that way.
If I have cash to cover any incidents why should I be obligated to have insurance in the first place?
I am an adult and I can take the risk.
In my country of origin car insurance is not mandatory. In most countries insurance is NOT mandatory.
However, here in America many brainwashed Americans think it’s the paramount of responsibility and readiness to be OBLIGATED TO HAVE IT.
It’s simply organized crime (insurance companies + lobbyists + government officials) to extort money from the citizens.
They get all of the money and they mandate it that we must pay it.
It’s a scam.
I got tired of paying $1600+ every 6 months for 3 old trucks. A 1982 Toyota pick up, 1984 Toyota 4Runner and a 1992 Chevy Silverado, all bought with cash a long time ago. I found a small hole in the wall insurance co and got it down to $240 every 6 months. Same coverage. Stop paying the insurance company’s CEO’s massive profits. Thx for all your great real life video’s.
Hey what small company are you covered through?
I pay 1500 every 6 months for 4 vehicles. 1980 Toyota PU, 1987 Suzuki Samurai, liability only. 2013 Honda Fit, 2014 Toyota Tacoma, full coverage. Oregon.

Next time: In Florida, recording phone calls or other oral communications... Keep this in mind if you’re considering recording conversations Florida is a two party consent , so Announcing your intention to record the conversation is a good practice to ensure compliance with the law. If they agree on camera or via phone, they cannot take it back later, which is a good thing to consider.
Also if they state the conversation may be recorded or monitored for quality etc you can just say I’m recording also. Problem solved

I'm 68-years-old. I have NEVER had car insurance in my life. I've seen it as a total rip off my whole life. I've also never had a wreck so imagine the amount of money I've saved myself for 50 plus years. When the Government made it mandatory that you have insurance, that's when the insurance companies went nuts with their premiums.
I haven't had car insurance in almost 20 years now.
I feel your pain man, the sad truth is that all these insurance companies work together to get the most out of you. My premium went up $210 for "Administrative purposes". I'm 58 years old, no tickets since I was 18, no accidents, absolutely stellar driving record. I live in the country, I have 5 neighbors in a 1000acre spread of land. Why? Thier reasoning is because I own a Tesla and they are expensive to replace. Funny thing, my neighbor has a 90K truck, tickets, accidents and he pays less than me. Guess what, he has the same insurance company. So I call them back. How is my 32k bluebook value Tesla Model S more expensive than my neighbors NEW 90K truck. She fired back with administrative costs again and said that It's because the car can go really fast. WHAT! If the government is going to mandate insurance, they need to mandate that these insurance companies profiting BILLIONS annually to stop making so much profit. I'm so pissed. I've been shopping around for new insurance, funny thing, they are all quoting the same, down to cents! Don't tell me they aren't all working together.
Get an agent. You’ll likely find better coverage for less money.
Teslas have also had some extremely bad claims where the battery explodes and they can’t put the fires out. I know one carrier that paid out about $2million because of this…the tesla was next to a corn field and wiped out a huge crop. So that guy, $4,000 was worth it.
@@rustlepalace-inn7229 And I would argue a 90K truck plowing into a bunch of cars and possibly killing someone in the process is no different!
@@mrcaz9164 absolutely, but Teslas are also a fairly new invention too. So the insurance carriers also don’t have as much data on them. 🤷♂️
"nor should I have to" yeah it is unconstitutional and us citizens & police put up with it, we shouldn't.
Some industries need regulated, because otherwise they could use their required product to extort excessive fees....like hospitals do.
Stop paying and get everybody you know to stop paying. Put ur money where ur mouth is
No pay November! Or Stop paying September, just whenever the most people would actually rebel to force them to stop the nonsense! Once all the little fish realize that together they can beat the whale, the whale is in trouble.
Exactly my thoughts!
I'm 58 Class A CDL no accidents, tickets ect ect good record in company truck and personal car. Houston, TX Progressive is ripping me for $253.00 mo for liability only on a 2008 Toyota. This is insanity 😳
Damn
Yup, they are ripping me off also. I got a 2010 civic LX. Very basic commuter car. Very slow car also. I pay 246 a month, im getting ready to call them soon too. Cause 246 a month is absolutely insane for a 15 year old car with only 140 horse power. It’s absolutely insane. I have no accidents either in my life
I'm sure y'all are leaving out other factors affecting your rates
@@iprophecy6768 yea youre getting cooked, im in a 2020 sentra paying 160 a month
Progressive gouged me for $343 with full coverage. Zipcode matters a lot and they charge ridiculous prices on older cars but since newer cars can cost more, you’ll pay a lot for them too. There’s a small window where you might pay slightly less but really there’s no winning with them. No accidents, never even been pulled over. Got my payment down to $232 by dropping to minimum coverage. Of course that isn’t going to be enough either.
As the owner of one of these hole in the wall agencies I agree. The 20 years I been doing this I've never seen it this bad. I honestly cringe when a customer calls and tells me they bought a new car.
Why? I pay 300 a month for 3 vehicles.

Wow!! That’s amazing🎉
Its because we have to pay for everyone elses $120k pickup trucks and suvs, i have an 07 Subaru thst costs more to insure than its worth per 6 months.
1000% right. The electric cars also are the reason why insurance is so high but other peoples big trucks and suvs make us pay more for our own damn car.
The price of your vehicle doesn't really dictate your rate. It's a factor but not the main factor.

And vaxxidents and illegal alien drivers.
They don't even need a reason to jack up rates. They can just do it and no one is going to stop them. That's just how capitalism works now when you don't enforce anti-trust laws. And the Supreme Court legalized bribery and other types of political corruption.
@@rayme4raw poor baby
Wow
My insurance just increased again for the second time and I've had zero accidents in my 25 years of driving. The renewal went up 100 freakin dollars as if everything isn't already expensive enough. My car is a damn 2012 and is paid off so I only get basic coverage too
One of the main causes of this is called “social inflation” these juries are awarding ridiculous amounts to people like never before. The risk is spread and when the insurance company pays these massive claims, rates go up for everyone.
1:15 yes!! I’m so glad someone else feels the way I feel.
I have Geico..for my cars it's over $300.00 a month. This has to go back to where it was as well as property taxes, which is forcing people out of their homes. The economy cannot prosper with these main issues on price.
I just got $363 for 6 months switching to them. Liability and uninsured motorist 50/100k, not full coverage. I just sold my other car because i was paying over $400 a month with 2 cars and full coverage on my old insurance.
30k wtf dude stop paying that
@channelofstuff6662FYI- That’s not always the case. When home prices skyrocket, so does property taxes. A retired friend was forced to sell his home, because the property value became astronomical. After living and supporting the community there for 30+ YEARS. He’s not the only one.
I've always said, if they can make it mandatory for you to have, there should be a cap on what they can charge you. I was blackballed from car insurance from the little gecko, and had to drive my car for almost 2 years with no insurance before I finally found a company that would write me a policy. I wondered how they can make it mandatory for you to have, but the insurance companies can refuse to write you a policy!

@@84unisol a risk we are willing to take, not recommended for people with car payments.
As soon as I pay my last installment I also stop paying for insurance.
Insurance logic is so stupid also. We're charging you based on age, the type of car, and others who've messed up. When it should only be about your driving record. We should also get our money back if no accidents happened during our time with that company.
your driving record does factor in. i think insurance companies are scum but if you were insuring people would you really charge an 18 year old the same rate as a 50 year old with a perfect driving record?
your second point is of course utterly laughable.
@tommyfu9271……What does a person’s credit score have to do with their driving record?
Insurance companies are literally increasing rates based on metrics that have no correlation or relationship with someone’s driving record. 😂
@@anderseckstrand7033 id imagine ON AVERAGE people with better credit scores make better decisions. This is what actuaries do- they crunch data.
Obviously there are some 19 year olds that are extremely responsible drivers for example but it's not feasible to analyze every single person individually.
If their numbers say all things being equal high credit score people cost us less money in claims then their rates will be lower.
They probably actually do have a correlation but not nearly as much as other factors which are weighted way more heavily.
Insurance is just a bet and they're using the data they have to try and make good bets.
I can't stand insurance companies btw but that's your answer.
@@anderseckstrand7033I'm pretty sure there is a correlation. Actuaries are trained to find the best data models for rating. In theory, companies want to charge just enough to cover losses, admin / processing costs & a reasonable profit.

The only problem with those smaller companies is if u actually do have an issue good luck getting them to cover you.

I’m in L.A. Before the 1980s you weren’t required to have car insurance. Most of us had it because it was affordable. Mainly homeowners and business owners. Then the illegal immigration boom of the 1980s put an end to it. Insurance companies started raising rates because there was an influx of people in accidents uninsured. Someone had to pay for it and it was citizens. I was in my 20s then and my rates doubled. So I drove without it. Then they made it mandatory and I had no choice.
Yeah, that immigration was caused by the US. They kept invading and terrorizing Latin American countries so the people went north
I always wondered why it was required insurance. Always thought it was odd that an insurance (when I own the asset 100%) *requires* insurance.🤔
i swear the turning point in the usa was the 1980s everything goes back to the 1980s.
@@larkatmic CZcams keeps deleting my comments....
@@joeswanson733 I agree. But its inception was in the 60s counter culture (Marxism) I was newly married and remember thinking these useful idiots wouldn’t get anywhere in this country of the free. No one would fall for their intolerance to the free thinker. The 1980s had an opportunity to end its rise. But then, just like now. They gaslit their way to positions of authority in government, education and entertainment. And most Americans allowed for it. No one wants to be called a racist. Now they are the globalists and it’s too late. They control the media and have indoctrinated most under 35s whose parents allowed it to happen without a fight. Now the border is wide open. Insurance and medical insurance will continue to go up because of it. That along with high inflation, high energy prices and inescapable debts. Wait till the majority of Americans lose their jobs. Buckle up. We had a good run.
I am an insurance adjuster and I can tell you the reason why rates are going up. Car manufacturers have raised the prices of replacement parts 300% and 400% for parts to repair cars. Then there’s the tow companies charging $1000 for a 8 mile tow, body shops charging $250/day for storage plus every kind of creative fee they can dream up. And let’s not forget about the judicial hellholes all over the country (particularly in FL) in which the legislators and the personal injury attorneys collaborate and write the laws for their own business benefit to wring as much money from the insurance companies as possible. I am not lying. The gouging, fraud, greed and legal robbery is currently at a level you wouldn’t believe. Then throw a few hurricanes and hail storms on top of it all and unless the rates go up, then there ARE NO insurance companies. An insurance company is incentivized to keep rates as low as possible in order to grow. That’s how they grow, by attracting customers. When rates go up, people leave, so raising rate isn’t what an insurance company wants to do unless it has to. It isn’t greedy insurance companies trying to rip you off as you think. The fundamental business environment has become a culture of ripping off the insurance companies. Yes, you heard me right. It is THE INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF. This is done by car manufacturers, body shops, tow companies, personal injury lawyers, chiropractors, medical billers, etc…and also insured individuals perpetrating fraudulent claims. I see it every day. These reasons, plus the increased cost of labor for repair technicians, carpenters, electricians, etc… is why rates are going up. The media, as well as people like you, love to portray insurance companies as the root evil and that is not true. Insurance companies are trying to survive just like everyone else. It is not insurance company greed causing premium rates to go up, it is inflation and the cost of doing business (which includes the vendor greed) that is causing rates to go up. Don’t be so simplistic and stop buying into the politicians gaslight diversion tactic that puts all the blame on the horrible insurance companies.
People are blind. Everyone thinks doctors and nurses are heroes while they are ripping us off too. The healthcare and education industries are ripping us off, not the insurance.
Seems a lot of folks drive like they do in GTA V. Full throttle burns, rollin coal, the whole 9 yards. This really sucks when they get behind granny going 25 in a 40, or barely reaching 35 mph coming off an onramp getting on a 70mph interstate. And they wonder why the rest of us drive like npc traffic lol.
Stop talking so much sense. That doesn’t jive with people’s feelings.
Insurance is the third biggest industry after banking and wall street, nobody ever rips them off! Lol! I have a 215 ins lic.
Did you watch the video? How come he was able to find an insurance company for a fraction of the price as the other ones if what you say is true?
At least they should reimburse us the money that we spent if we wasn't involved in no accident for the whole year like we are just giving them free money
Now you're starting to get it. The entire premise of car insurance was basically to get the owners of the companies free money from working citizens.
If the government ran an insurance program that might be possible, but then you'd have people finding reasons to whine about that too 🤣
There's no free market in car insurance.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
Bonus challenge: Try starting your own insurance co.
this. if insurance was able to be sold across state lines, i think it would change things a lot
There's no "free market" period... there's large corporations destroying competition, greed and no enforcement of anti-trust laws since our political system has been rigged to run off corporate "donations" thanks to conservative policies and court rulings.
I started moving insurance companies in 2019 when I was paying $230 per month on one car. Recently, i bought a second car and it jumped to nearly $400 from $190. I shopped around and got it to $205 for two cars full coverage and collision.
Same here. When asked why the rep said, "Because your car is newer it has more technology in it which drives repair costs up"
You want to know why companies preach "Safety first"? That's why. It means there's no price tag too high that you can place when it comes to your safety. Mr. Business man goes to congress, slips a congressman some money to make a new "safety" law that requires you to spend more money on their stuff. Of course a politician can't say no to safety either. It's not a good look and would make for a great smear campaign from the other guy. So they all get their incentivized cut of that good ol' American Pie.
What company did you go with?
@@nate6735 I was and still am with progressive. Mostly because I knew at the time rates were jacking up for everyone. I wasn't being singled out.
@@nate6735 I went with State Farm since they were the best overall option I have.
What company?
Never fall in love with your insurance company. Shop the market at least every other year.
insurance company is like a casino. If they weren't making a profit, they wouldn't be a company.
Hey Jack, I’m glad you’re raising awareness for this. I’d like to give people a snapshot into my story too to see how messed up it is-
I was paying for just road legal coverage, the lowest possible. Old company wanted $850 for 3 vehicles (all paid off). I thought wow that’s a lot. But I paid it (6 months). 6 months later I turned 25, and it should go down (I’ve had no accidents nor tickets). Yet they were gonna bill me the SAME $850 after turning 25. I thought- that’s strange, so I called around, dropped a vehicle, and got a quote for $330 for 2 vehicles (6 months). If I hadn’t turned 25, I would’ve let them BOHICA me again. Please be wary guys, you have -the right- to shop around, so use it. Don’t let them steal from us because we are lazy.
These no name insurance companies tend to make it impossible to reimburse for a car accident.
I heard that same thing. I think it would only work for people driving really cheap cars and don`t care.
@@Mike-dd8bdusually minimum insurance only covers the other party you hit
You can't make a claim anyway. So who cares.
You go this route when you only care about satisfying the legal requirement.
@@SaltyBob355 perfectly said
Thank you Jack! I’m in Miami I’ve been going through this for years. Just paid off my cars and my insurance quote is still insane. I’m tired of it. I’ll be calling Ocean next week.
Hole in the wall car insurance co. are it👌
Unless they don’t pay for the claim to fix that hole in the wall! 😂
Just paid $250 for my yearly insurance in Japan, love it!
Who cares.

Having a car in America is a scam right now.
You pay higher premiums for those commercials. When it comes to the household names
Gotta pay Patrick mahommes and ludacris
My State Farm has gone up 20% which is annoying but I'm still only paying $130/mo for a 2019 Altima. Perfect record.
It's all a scam. I had the car insurance provider (Geico) for over 15 years, different vehicles of course. Ever since the C-O-V-I-D crap it's doubled.
Used to have two full size trucks. 2018 & 2019. It was $123, each for both, full coverage but began to increase every time I had to renew.
A few years ago I sold both trucks & just got a used 2019 truck. They then turned around & DOUBLED my insurance for one vehicle!!
I was now going to have to pay almost $300 a month just for ONE! Fast forward today & the cheapest I could get insurance on the same truck is about $850/6 months with a $2500 deductible.
It's insane, clean driving record & no tickets. I'd imagine it's way more expensive if you have a dirty record, but why do us good drivers have to suffer??!!
"Covid crap" That tells me everything about you in two words.
@@johnmca5643 That he's smart and not a brain dead sheep who injects himself with an underdeveloped vaccine in an effort to comply with the demands of "experts" who were proven wrong again and again? So, yes, "Covid crap"
It's called Greedflation and no has enforced anti-trust laws since Reagan stopped. Also a windfall profits tax might help. Why should any corporation not jack up prices for no reason when there's no consequences for doing so.
I have GEICO and my insurance has not doubled since COVID.
Hey man! Good reminder, thanks. We’re on the brink of bankruptcy from medical debt and my dad can’t afford his current insurance. We’ve been thinking about switching, but didn’t know where to run. Paying $1200/ 6mo after 48 years driving. Never had an accident except for when a texting while driving teenager rear-ended him. Now we gotta scramble to find a lesser known company, if they haven’t been swallowed up by the larger ones in our area.
Destroy the mafia insurance cop agreement to have mandatory insurance. Make it optional BUT when you get into an accident, you either agree on the spot who pays what sum or take it to court to see who pays what. And you'll see insurance prices go down to almost nothing. The whole reason they're so high is because it's mandatory
Love this idea!
Mine is 680 for a year. Gotta love the holes in the walls
My old truck just went down to 17 a month 8 years ago I paid 170 a month on the same truck same liability 😂
$1,600 year here. One suv.
@@elisadelaurenti2516 not bad if full coverage. Mine isn't

When my insurance hits $80 a month, I stop paying!
How
@@whyjustwhy2168You just stop. At $80 a month, he just has limited liability insurance, it only covers the other guy. You just let the policy lapse until they lower the rate to get you back onto the plantation.
@rayme4raw ok so do u keep paying the 80 or just stop paying anything. Thanks I didn't know
@@whyjustwhy2168 When they ask you to renew your policy, you don’t. They assume that you found a new insurer. 50% of cars out there are driving around without insurance.
@rayme4raw if I wasn't worried about losing my license I would too take the gamble I'm a good driver
Why do insurance companies own stadiums and arenas
This right here, because they took your premium and invested it got a return often enough to sponsor a team and stadium 🏟️.
My mom got hit by someone carrying Ocean Harbor insurance. They would not pay until they were sued by All-State. Just bc it’s cheap, doesn’t mean it’s good insurance. All insurance is a scam, but the smaller companies are even worse
If the insurance company advertises on tv that’s a sign that they’re make money on you.
If business opens its doors tomorrow it’s a sign they make money on you
"I called Flow that f....." hahaha 🤣
My insurance is about $800/year. The “life hack” is having an inexpensive car. It gets me from A to B exactly as well as a $ 100k car would.
-- just wait till you try to collect on a claim😂
I’,m in Australia, we have compulsory third party insurance in case someone ends up in hospital but we don’t have to get anything beyond that insurance wise. Depending on which state you live in, it is incorporated into vehicle registration.
I work in insurance. Best thing is to shop around every few years.
Insurance companies raise rates almost every year. There are many reasons but primarily due to the overall cost of claims. Accidents, lawsuits aren’t cheap.
I currently pay $86 a month (full coverage) with a discount on a 2018 Toyota Tacoma base model. I currently reside in VA, I’ve had no tickets since I’ve been driving(I’m a 25 year old male). My provider has always been State Farm, I will say though that when I did live in Florida it went wayyy up.
Woah, that is crazy low for full coverage. I am paying $165 a month for full coverage in Michigan... Granted, Michigan is one of the most expensive car insurance states in the country.
@@FatalOnion right?!, it just recently went down a few months ago, before I was paying around 190 or so, I was so shocked that I actually called my agent just to make sure that was correct, and so it was.
Tip from an insurance agent. If you’re purchasing a vehicle, your agent likely won’t mind if you call to quote the vehicle before purchasing it. That way you’ll have an idea what the insurance is like, and whether or not that car is within budget. It can save you lots of money.
Please consider you may be getting cheaper coverage but those insurance companies won't cover anything when you actually have a claim.
Even the big ones do everything to squirm out of giving you a single dollar. It's not just the small ones
The car is paid off he is speaking of liability only
In Canada, I drive a 2019 Honda civic. Third party insurance of 90$ a month. But I have put 100$ on auto withdrawal to a high interest savings account. So, by the end of the year there is no accident or damage I still have my money and interest on top of that…
You'd need insane interest for a $100 monthly deposit to overcome a $90 monthly withdrawal.
@@WT83 No, no... the 90$ is separate for insurance. The other 100$ is a different amount. So, per month 190$. The 100$ per month will give me close to 1500-1800$ by the year end.
I have a perfect record and been with the same company since 2008. I’ve had my car paid off about 2 years now. My insurance went up quite bit. YET they tell me I’m a loyal customer and getting all these discounts for staying with them. I’m not seeing any discounts. Insurance is a scam. Dont even get me started on homeowners insurance.
Own your car to avoid full coverage. Get the cheapest possible just to have a policy number.
Let me offer insider perspective from the industry.
Car insurance is a requirement for driving because there were too many bad drivers that killed/hurt people and the victim had no recourse (remember that episode of Bart when Mr Burns ran him over?) Now, with everyone having insurance, most people can just go after the insurance company and don't have to lawyer up.
Most insurance isn't for YOUR protection. Insurance requirement is so that the system knows that you hit someone, the insurance companies will step in to cover the medical cost of the victim. In some jurisdiction, the bare minimum insurance coverage doesn't even cover your medical bill, so you would simply get nothing from your insurance company 😂
As for WHY insurance has gotten so expensive: It's because we tolerate bad drivers. Drivers who speed, race, don't do full stop at stop signs, run red lights, park in handicaps, drunk drive, don't signal when they change lanes...etc. All of them, all of Us, are to be blamed for the high prices.
YOU tolerate bad drivers then Bad drivers get into accident, and YOU have to pay a share of that driver's mistake. Don't like it? STOP TOLERATING BAD DRIVERS!
I'm not tolerating a damn thing. You, the insurance company are tolerating it. Stop giving coverage to bad drivers and you'll stop having to cover bad drivers. When they get pulled over w/o insurance...straight to jail 😂
This man needs to be a character played by Walton Goggins
You’re hilarious with your dry humor but also very spot on with the frustrations of every day people being drained of their cash
Been saving Thousands of dollars by not paying that crap. No accidents drives everyday and guess who saves money 💰🤑. Got pulled over a few years ago took a hit no biggie. Still saved thousands more in the longrun. Fuck that scam foreal

These lowkey insurance companies are cheap and fits a lot of peoples budget, but when it comes time to make a claim from a wreck, they might give you some trouble. Would do more research on the specific company you're going to. It's cheap for a reason. Just gotta play the game like how it was designed.
Use them for liability only. Self insure collision and comprehensive.
@@user-tb7rn1il3qwhat do you mean by self insurance?
“Ghetto hole in the wall” 😂 but you went in how you clown the company and appreciate them for helping you
Gosh, you're my hero. I've been saying the same thing for decades.
Car insurance:
What
An
Incredible
Scam.
And, I guarantee you, a very high percentage of people you pass on the road every day have little or no insurance. People just can't afford this.
Amen brother! My kids and I just had this conversation yesterday including other topics of government corruption.
That's the good part of shopping around for pricing on insurance, Jack.
Car insurance has always been a hassle for many people for decades, and it keeps increasing along with inflation.
I actually remember when motorcycle insurance was not yet required by law, but it became mandatory the same year I got my motorcycle license in my state.
I havent had car insurance since 2020. Absolute scam
I would HOPE you have liability. I'm all for railing agains the big companies for the premiums they charge, but not having any liability insurance and having something happen is not only illegal and totally IMMORAL if you damage others' property or worse, but you're setting yourself up for liability and criminal charges. A very close friend of mine was coming home from work a few years ago and a woman was on her phone and hit him on his motorcycle as she missed a stop sign. She had NO insurance and it basically ruined his life as he ended up losing his leg. Sadly, he couldn't work anymore even though he DID come back with a prosthetic leg, but he had too much difficulty. Eventually, cancer took him a couple of years ago. She ended up with a short jail sentence and was strapped with a huge lawsuit. It never ends well and it's NEVER good to not be responsible when we are driving around four thousand pound machines and we should at the very least have LIABILITY insurance for others' benefit.
@@dyates6380 Sorry about your friend, But I don't get what difference it would have made if the lady had insurance?
How do you get car registration without proof?
I pay $2400 every 6 months! 2016 Corvette, 2016 Ram 1500, 2008 Noble m400, and a 2000 Pontiac Firebird WS6.
Sounds like a lot, but it works out to $100 per vehicle per month for full coverage.
I’m 30, not married, never been in a car accident or made a claim. I moved across the country and needed to change my car insurance because my current provider wasn’t in Alaska. I was paying $600 in the Midwest when I lived there. After moving State Farm quoted me $4500 for 6 months. I drove a paid off 2017 Honda accord. They couldn’t tell me why it was so high. I went to a hole in the wall insurance company and got the same coverage for $500.. This was 2 years ago. I now drive a brand new 2024 Ford Explorer ST that’s almost paid off. My car insurance is $700 every 6 months for full coverage. Still to this day I have no idea why State Farm quoted me $4500. I will never bring my business to them and neither will my family.
My homeowners went up $1,000. The reason was claims due to storms. What did they do with all the money made up to
that point?
Get an electric bike, no insurance scams. Or use your lambofeeties. Its a scam now to own a car esspeically when car companies charge 3 times what a car should cost cause they add useless shite😂

My insurance went from $300 a month to $450 for no reason.
Inflation is the reason.
@@danitakacs9870 Corporate greed is the real reason.
Is this for 1 car?
@@JeeGee114 Two cars, one of them I drive only 500 miles a year. Mind you no tickets nor accidents since 1995. 800 credit score.
Lol that insurance company has a notorious reputation for being the worst.
I feel you man. Denver Colorado. $4000+ is the lowest 6 month premium for 2 cars full coverage.
Here's a hack on car insurance. Reduce your reported mileage driven on the policy from 12,000 to like 3,000 a year. That'll drop your premium big time. I pay $300 for 6 months in Los Angeles for just liability. My car is old but it's big and could do some damage in a wreck. If you get audited, pull a Ferris Bueller, crack that odometer open and roll that shit back.
You wont outsmart them. It does not change the rate much anymore
I did that mine was under commute changed it to pleasure/ personal and dropped the mikes from 12k a year to 7000 it only went down like 60 for a yearly policy
Another reason you should pay CASH for used vehicles.
I added a bed and cassette toilet to the back of my van and registered it as an RV. Insurance went from $150/month down to $30.
I’m 51 with no accidents (0)! Paying insurance since I was 15yrs old!!!
Banks are insured, money is insured, insurance runs the world.
You should do research before you switch to any insurance company. That company you are using has horrible reviews when it comes to paying claims. GEICo is expensive… but at least if I get into a car accident… They will either replace the car or repair it. Be very careful.
And that is why you pay high cost insurance.
Getting a great deal. 150 a month for 100k worth of cars full coverage.
I'm with a big company but dated my agent.
When it was going well she showed me she can just make a few clicks it will be half the rate and they still make profit.
